Jangsara On Fire

In both first book and the movie there are two "outfit moments" that inspired me (and a lot of others too :D)

First is the scene where Tributes are introduced to the crowd:

Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

That scene was transferred to to the movie quite nicely, as you can see from these gifs:

The other outfit is Katniss's dress she wore when interviewed by Caesar Flickerman.Here's how it was described in the book:

Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

Then the movie version: There is some jewels on her shoulder, and the skirt is in flames when she moves, but.. Not exactly what I expected.

What does all this have to do with makeup then?

I did two looks inspired by these outfits, one on FIRE, and other one with jewels :D
These looks are not really based on either of the outfits, but more of a mix and match and inspired.

Here's the first one:

Again, I used various products, but Sugarpill is mainly to thank. Buttercupcake, Flamepoint and Lumi were used, along with red and yellow Whisper individual lashes mixed with Porcelain False Eyelashes.
Eyebrows are made with Models Own Neon orange & Neon yellow pencils, small "pearls", gold glitter, red glitter, MUFE Flashcolor colors and various other stuff.
I also used Sleek's Acid palette orange and yellow.

I originally intended this to be only in one eye and nothing else, but I added some color to cheeks and lips so you could see how it looks. I don't know what's the point to see it "in big picture" 'cos I didn't exactly intend this to be used :P

Then the rhinestone look:

I really wasn't happy for this look, I started doing it way too late, I had no natural light to take photos, and the result wasn't quite what I hoped for.But it was too much work just to ignore it :P

I still have few generic Capitol looks, and I also started to do The Avengers looks!

Amazing makeup! Both looks are just stunning? In the first look (the one with the flaming eyebrows) is the glitter/shimmer on your browbone and inner corner Lumi by Sugarpill? I'm looking for exactly that kind of shimmer but Lumi does barely show up on the pictures when I use it.
